Answer:

0.00335 moles

Explanation:

From the question, Using

PV = nRT................... Equation 1

Where P = pressure, V = Volume, n = number of moles of argon gas, R = Molar gas constant, T = Temperature.

make n the subject of the equation

n = PV/RT............... Equation 2

Given: P = 1 atm (standard pressure), T = 273 K (standard temperature), V = 75 mL = 0.075 dm³

Constant: R = 0.082 atm·dm³/K·mol

Substitute into equation 2

n = (1×0.075)/(273×0.082)

n = 0.075/22.386

n = 0.00335 moles

Why can a liquid change to take the shape of its container but NOT expand to fill the container itself?

tiny-mole [99]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Molecules in a liquid have less force of attraction as compared to solids. But liquid molecules have more force of attraction as compared to gases.

Since molecules of a gas are held together by weak Vander waal forces, therefore, they expand to fill the container whereas molecules in a liquid are not expanded in a container like gases because of more force of attraction within molecules of liquids as compared to gases.

Hence, a liquid can take the shape of container in which it is kept.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, a liquid change to take the shape of its container but NOT expand to fill the container itself because the particles of a liquid are held together loosely enough to flow, but not so loose that they expand.

This equation shows a ____ refer to this summary equation of photosynthesis to complete the sentences about chemical bonds and r

coldgirl [10]

The balanced chemical equation representing the process of photosynthesis is:

$6 CO_{2} +12H_{2}O-->C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}+6O_{2}$

The reactants in the process of photosynthesis are $CO_{2}$ and H $H_{2}O$ and the products of the reaction are glucose $C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}$ and oxygen $O_{2}$ . Oxygen is the nonpolar covalent gas which is released in the process of photosynthesis. The reactant $CO_{2}$ is a nonpolar covalent gas while the other reactant water $H_{2}O$ has polar covalent O-H bonds.
